Going On Vacation and Happy Fourth of July

We are heading out to visit my brother in California for a couple of weeks. I may not be posting during this time, but if anything super interesting happens I'll be sure to let you know.

Be safe and happy this Fourth of July. Better to go view a public fireworks display rather than setting them off at home. People also get hurt every year by falling bullets. DO NOT fire weapons into the air to celebrate. What goes up must come down.

About Me

For most of my adult life (60 years) I have consciously lived a simple, frugal life. This was a lifestyle choice for me, but with today's poor economy, it has become a life necessity. I hope to share my frugal philosophy with others, hopefully helping them and learning a few tips for my own use.
Now for a bit of personal information. I am a Mennonite, mother of an seventeen year old girl and wife of 37 years. I spend my time running my household the old fashioned way, cooking from scratch, canning our food, gardening, sewing, knitting, spinning (not on a bike), cleaning, writing book reviews and worshipping.
